Trent Shelton's Best Motivational Speech | This Might Completely Turn Your Life Around - READ CLOSELY!

"You have to be honest with yourself and truthful with yourself so I have a rehab process and the first hour is reality. it's facing reality too many people run from it. my quota is you'll never win your war by running from your battles and so you gotta step up and you gotta face it. I don't care what it is it might be something in your past, it might suck to face it for me, it was facing that my dream was over my identity so for somebody watching this, it might be a relationship, it might be a job but I kept running and the thing about it like you can run all you want but the reality is going to be right there. when you stop and it's going to chase you or even if it doesn't chase, you are going to be right then you have to face it. 

I really let people know that acknowledgment is power. I need help is the most powerful thing that you can say and I realize that in my life because immediately you have people that are going to help you and grow your life and expose yourself. We think that we always have to be so sheltered that we have to be so strong especially the social media world. it's like oh I have to have everything together that's like a silent depression that's going to happen you suppress things like that when you smile for the camera but God behind the scenes which I did so well for so long in my life you're never gonna fool the person that you see in the mirror every single day just because it's a chapter. it doesn't mean it's your whole story the only way you're gonna get strength in your life is if you go through that hard moment that tough moment it's very important to embrace the pain to go through it. I believe the foundation of all strength is a pain for me fear is creating a known result right from a situation you haven't experienced yet and so when I used to go back to football. when I would be scared to go out there and perform I'll be like you know what I'm gonna drop the ball I'm gonna miss the pass and the whole crowd of 80,000 people is gonna be like hi so I'm like I'm scared now all of these things I realized that I was creating a result before I ever experienced it and so I said hmmm if that's the case.

I need to create something better on the other side of that door something more empowering that's gonna force me to actually go through the door so now when I speak I say you know what I'm gonna impact at least one life so go out there and do it but I immediately change that so this is going to be a most incredible thing and also leverage where now I can use this into every area of my life because I conquered my biggest fear so people out there that are going through fear for moments. It's kind of like this you will never step into the ring if you're already telling yourself that you're going to lose before the fight you'll never do that like why would you write so to tell yourself you're gonna win even if you get knocked down guess what you're never knocked out in life until you actually tap out to your last day. Figure out that leverage point, what's your fear, what's going to help you walk through the door, and then you have to just give it to the world. I've never had so much peace in the midst of like fear never had so much confidence in the midst of my weakness at that moment and so when it comes to gifts think about it like. When someone gives you a physical gift and Christmas in your birthday, what do you unwrap it you show it to the world you put on Instagram you've got that same gift inside you that the world needs and you're doing the world a disservice by leaving your gift wrapped up somebody needs your story. 

My mom told me that's not everything she said, "Trent you're assigned to reach people I don't know how many but you're assigned to reach people that nobody else can reach but you." Everybody has that and the more you leave your gift wrapped those people that need your message that needs your encouragement. Whatever it is that needs your talent they're never gonna get it and you're not gonna leave this world a better place you just have to face it and deal with it like I think it's just too hard to suppress it. it's too hard to ignore it and so you have to be honest with yourself and true for which yourself its that reality that you have to have with yourself and that truthfulness and not knowing that it doesn't make you weak by admitting these things and bring it back to social media because justice generation is to filter life you know like even in real life like everybody wants to put up this filter and they think that's their superpower but your superpower is literally just being real and that's where you grow at like you have to acknowledge that I need help in this area. I have thoughts I have flaws right here let me fix these things and that's gonna make you more of a superhuman and I mean we take from a physical standpoint.

I mean if you keep suppressing something that's gonna happen. it's gonna explode at one point and so what you don't face are things that you know you don't fix and so for me, it's about letting it out. you know a lot of my videos people don't realize like therapy is not a weakness especially as for men like go to therapy having somebody you can talk to have a Brotherhood manhood have somebody you can the same thing with women you got to have your clique of people where you can have an open dialog without being judged to be able to let these emotions out because those .if you don't deal with your pain will definitely deal with you. It will and I've been there before I've been like. I said the person that would say I'm okay when I'm not okay when I was sitting my mom's room my mom would say “Trent are you good” yeah I'm good when I wasn't good at all and I got to those moments where I don't know if it was suicidal thoughts but I didn't care about living if something happened to me might be better off because my life is over that's not the way. I felt life might not be adding up to what you wanted to add up to but at least you have another every single day as a new beginning every day is a new beginning and certain days aren't gonna look like. you want to look but at least you have another chance like a hundred and I tell us that all the time 150,000 people die every day it's fifty-five million people a year if you're looking for a blessing put your hand over your heart realize that your blessing you have another opportunity in life and that's why I'm so intriguing .this is like geeky probably but I'm sowing tree with sunrises and sunsets a sunrise. Lets me know that I have another day and his sunset means I made it through another day and so I'm I love sunrises and sunsets.

I want to make sure everybody knows that they're enough no matter what they go through what they've been through that they aren't enough the number one cause for anything is people not knowing it they're enough they feel like they're not enough. I want them to leave there knowing that despite life-sucking right now despite this chapter. I am enough and so you know one of the things that I tell people is that you know just because you have some bad chapters doesn't mean your story can't end well and every story has bad chapters it's about you find their strength to turn the page and so hold on to that in your struggle and your journey and your pain and then turn your pain from your worst enemy to your best friend do that use pain only the usual you.
